----------------------------------------------halt, stop, look, whoa.

Limericks are a very DEFINED rhyme AND meter scheme. Unlike other types of poetry, deviation from that scheme is unacceptable. A limerick is a five-line poem in anapestic or amphibrachic meter. What's that mean?

Well, anapestic meter is two short syllables followed by a long one: ta ta DUM. Amphribrachic is a short syllable either side of a long one: ta DUM ta.

In a limerick an anapestic meter scheme looks like this: When the ROCKet fell OUT of the SKY.
In a limerick an amphribrachic meter scheme looks like this: "There WAS a young LADy/ of WANTage.

Look at the first line in the current limerick. It meets the criteria of NEITHER rhyme scheme. The second line works, but the author of that line should have repaired the first line before continuing...as should the rest of you guys. Shame!

One possible repair:
'To rhyme is divine' Poe exclaimed
-- amphribrachic (the final short syllable is silent)

Free verse is poetry shamed
-- also amphribrachic (the first and final short syllable are silent)

Walking on red soles
That were both full of holes
-- This couplet works sort of, but the emphasis on "of" is awkward. A better version follows,
Walking on red soles
That were full of big holes

----------------------------------------------Okay, the game can now continue.

To Pthom's excellent tutorial above, permit me to add a word about rhyme. Too many entries in this game substitute "near" or "false" rhymes for true rhymes--often when true rhymes are easily available.

1. For a word to rhyme, it should be consonant with the rhymed word in all respects, not just one. Merely to use the same vowel sound and think you are rhyming is not rhyming. It is sloppy thinking. Examples:

"time" does not rhyme with "find"
"more" does not rhyme with "sort"
"together" does not rhyme with "forever"
"summer" does not rhyme with "thunder"

2. It gets trickier with polysyllables, but with a little care, good rhymes can be found. Some people seem to think that rhyming the last syllable of a two- or three-syllable word is all that is necessary. Thus, they will pair "fanatic" with "exotic," thinking that by repeating "ic" they have rhymed the words. They have not.

"Dramatic" rhymes with "fanatic." "Cathartic," "Semantic" and "Fantastic" do not.

"Seeding" rhymes with "Reading." "Feasting" does not. And neither do "Greeting" or "Healing" or "Teaching" or hundreds of other words ending in "-ing." The whole word has to rhyme.

There are several good rhyming dictionaries online. Here is one: http://www.rhymezone.com

As Pthom says, "Limericks are a very DEFINED rhyme AND meter scheme." Some very good poets have, on occasion, written limericks, and you will find that their limericks invariably have a gem-like (if silly) perfection.

"I couldn't think of a rhyme" is a pretty lame excuse in a forum where people think of themselves as writers.

:Lecture:

RevisionIsTheKey

06-13-2010, 11:55 PM

[Quoting Nym] There are several good rhyming dictionaries online. Here is one: http://www.rhymezone.com However, rhymezone.com at times offers options that are not true rhymes either. You still have to be cautious and test them out.

As Pthom says, "Limericks are a very DEFINED rhyme AND meter scheme." Some very good poets have, on occasion, written limericks, and you will find that their limericks invariably have a gem-like (if silly) perfection. Aww..., thanks, Nym. [End quote] (Somehow my post lost the "quote" mode...)

To add to Nym's addition to Pthom: Words like gone and done look like they rhyme on the page, but do not when said out loud.

In the vast arena of children's picture book writing, writers are told that words like logs and dog are not rhymes because one is plural and the other is not. Exclaimed and shame would also be frowned upon. I have seen published picture books that break both rules, but any newbie wanting to find a publisher should probably follow them. (I've also seen well-known writers in other fields get some fairly awful rhyming poetry published in magazines.)

Finally, another no-no in picture books is forced rhyme, coming up with a rhyme by using an odd choice of words or syntax just to get the rhyme you need. In limericks these shenanigans can actually add to the humor, if the reader can tell the poet is going for humor and is not just a poor poet.

Now, assuming the entire AW world has not fallen asleep reading all these lectures, someone needs to finish off the offending limerick so we can move on. I propose:

'To rhyme is divine,' Poe exclaimed. (All rights reserved by Pthom)
'By freeing up verse, it is shamed.'
'Edgar,' said Kooser,
'you ravin' old loser.
'The folks in this thread are inflamed.'

I saw the problem, but didn't think the game allowed for changing the lines others had written. I still think that would be wrong and make the game a lot less fun. I mean, if we could do that, what would keep someone from changing 'Free verse is poetry shamed.' to 'Free verse is poetry, maimed.' or 'The crook shouted – No, I've been framed.'?

The only exception would be to allow punctuation at the end of a line when the next line would require it.

I appreciate your lessons and I agree they were needed, but I'm really not going to go along with 'correcting' or in any other ways changing another writer's line.

Which we should! :Hammer:

BTW, one more word about rhyme: I think some people, accustomed to hearing a plethora of false rhymes in rock lyrics, assume that's what rhymes are. But the fun of writing and reading a limerick is that it is a long-established form that produces its effect not only from the cleverness (one hopes) of its ideas but from the fact that it accomplishes its goal by adhering to precise rules.

Since we've been trying to straighten out some problems in this thread, I will venture to point out that the line above doesn't work--for two reasons. The meter is off. Say it aloud and you'll hear what I mean

Also, the second line needs to rhyme not merely with the word "it" but with the two syllables "do it." For example, "through it," "blew it," "slew it" or "screw it." Again, saying the lines aloud should make this clear.

I don't mean to be hypercritical, but limericks are a very precise verse form, and some really clever ones have been appearing in this thread lately. I hope we will continue to write superior ones. :)

It’s probably a good time to say
that limericks go only one way
It’s a capital crime
To write any old rhyme
So don’t go adrift or astray

You can’t just shovel in extra syllables –
like that - or the line will be half-baked and miserable
you’ll look such a prat
if you do it like that
and you’ll wish you were or dead or invisible.

You may be a college professor
Or a bold and flamboyant cross dresser
But mess with the plan
and a very large man
will deal with you - wretched transgressor!

You may be a writer of note
Or a bum in a urine soaked coat
But mess with the format
and the guy on your doormat
will thrash you and rip out your throat

You may be a harmless old granny
Or a babe with a helluva….

For Nell was a practical girl

He clumsily trod on the cat
And tripped with an "Oof!" and a splat
The pussy ran out
Too in shame to pout
Instead hissed and called him a lout.
